Are you still asking "Can I expense this...?" Use our free tool!
The only thing worse than paying taxes is overpaying. We know the deductions specific to hair salons, supplies and colour products, salon equipment, booth rental expenses, continuing education, licensing fees, and the correct tax treatment of booth rental income versus employee wages. Most salon owners are overpaying simply because a general accountant does not know what to look for. We do.
It is impossible to spot profit leaks without tracking income and expenses consistently. Supplies that crept up, a service category that stopped being profitable, payroll that outpaced revenue, these patterns only show up in clean, current books. We handle your bookkeeping every month so you can see exactly where the money is going and fix it before it compounds.
Adding a chair, hiring a stylist, opening a second location — every growth decision has cash flow and tax implications that are easier to navigate with current, accurate financials. We help you model the impact before you commit so you can expand with confidence, not crossed fingers.
Running a salon is overwhelming enough. But, setting financial goals? Budgeting? Reconciling transactions every month? Forget about it. That’s where we come in.
Checking your bank balance is not a strategy. We keep your salon's books clean and current every month — tracking income by service type, managing booth rental records, and delivering clear reports so you always know how the salon is performing.
Waiting until April is not a plan. We work year-round to reduce your tax liability — capturing every salon-specific deduction and making sure your quarterly payments match your actual income so April is never a surprise.
Whether you pay employees, commission-based stylists, or manage a mix of W-2 staff and booth renters, we handle payroll processing, tax deposits, and compliance so your team gets paid correctly every cycle.
We understand the ins and outs of running a hair salon. From managing booth rentals to juggling inventory and balancing client schedules, we’ve seen it all. You won’t need to explain how your business works—we’re already in the loop.
Running a salon is already demanding. When a financial question comes up whether to add a service, raise prices, hire another stylist, or deal with a slow month you should have someone to call who knows your numbers and can give you a straight answer. We are available year-round, not just at tax time.
Let's face it, as accountants, our job is to help you keep more money. Whether that's increasing revenue, cutting out expenses, or saving you thousands in taxes, we're on hand to help you keep more of what you earn.
Supplies and colour products, salon equipment and tools, booth rental expenses, business insurance, continuing education and licensing fees, salon software subscriptions, advertising and marketing, uniforms, a home office if applicable, and vehicle mileage for business travel are all commonly deductible. The specifics depend on your business structure and how expenses are used — we make sure nothing gets missed.
If you rent booths to independent stylists, that rental income is treated differently from service revenue — it is generally not subject to self-employment tax but does need to be reported correctly. The stylists renting from you are independent contractors, not employees, which means no payroll tax obligation on your end, but also specific rules about how you can and cannot direct their work. We handle the bookkeeping and tax treatment for both sides of the booth rental arrangement correctly.
For most salon owners generating above $50,000 to $80,000 in net profit, an S-Corp election can reduce self-employment tax significantly. We assess your revenue, growth trajectory, and the administrative cost of running payroll before recommending any structural change — and only recommend it when the savings clearly outweigh the complexity.
Running a hair salon is hard enough without dealing with financial chaos, cash flow surprises, and tax headaches. That’s where we come in. Let us handle the numbers so you can focus on what you do best—serving really great hairstyles.
